In February of 2011, your Chester County PA dog attack attorneyobtained judicial approval to settle the dog attack claim of a Chester Springs PA resident. The young boy had traveled with his family to visit relatives in Bucks County on 1/18/09. The boy’s uncle was there with his Rottweiler.

Without any warning, the Rottweiler attacked the Chester County resident and bit him in the face. He was rushed to the Emergency Department of St. Mary’s Medical Center. A plastic surgeon performed surgery using approximately 30 stitches to close the facial dog bite wound. After the Chester County dog bite attorney was hired, he kept the insurance adjuster up-to-date re: the follow-up medical care.

On 10/1/09, the Chester County PA dog attack victim underwent a second surgery – scar revision of his right cheek. The Chester Springs resident returned to St. Mary’s for a third surgery on 10/28/10. Once all the medical care concluded, the Chester County dog attack attorney obtained current photographs, as well as copies of all the medical bills and records and forwarded them with a detailed analysis to the defendants’ homeowners insurance company.

A little girl was visiting her aunt in West Chester PA when two unrestrained dogs attacked her inside the home. The dogs had a history of aggressive conduct and they were usually kept restricted behind closed doors or via a dog fence.

The Chester County Pennsylvania resident was bitten on the back of her head, neck, shoulders and ears. She was rushed to the Emergency Room at Chester County Hospital. Surgeons needed six staples and 10 stitches to close the dog attack wounds to her scalp and right shoulder. Fortunately, the dog bite wounds did not become infected. A specialist later evaluated the scars and determined that plastic surgery was not necessary.

Once her medical care had ended, the Chester County dog bite accident attorney obtained all the medical records and forwarded a detailed settlement demand package to the insurance carrier for the dog owner. The initial settlement offer was only $25,000.00. Therefore, the Chester County PA dog bite lawyer filed a PA dog attack lawsuit with the Chester County Court of Common Pleas in West Chester PA.

The attorneys exchanged Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents. A settlement meeting was held in West Chester PA. Upon the advice of Attorney Newell, an increased settlement offer of $50,000.00 was declined by the parents of the Chester County dog bite victim. Just days before Depositions were to be taken, the insurance carrier gave in to the Chester County dog bite injury attorney’s demands and agreed to make the $76,000.00 dog bite settlement payment.

The Chester County dog bite attorney presented a structured settlement annuity plan to Judge Ann Marie Wheatcraft that provided for guaranteed lump sum payments at ages 18, 20 and 21 totaling $86,750.00.

On Dec. 25, 2013, a two year-old boy was visiting his aunt’s home in Landenberg Chester County with his parents. The aunt owned a Labrador Retriever which was permitted to mingle with the guests without any restraints.

Suddenly, and with any warning, the dog attacked the child and bit him in the face. The Chester County PA dog attack victim was rushed to the Emergency Department of Nemours/Dupont Children’s Hospital where interior and exterior stitches were used to close the dog bite facial wounds.

Once the facial lacerations healed, the boy was evaluated by a plastic surgeon who concluded that no additional medical care was required. The Chester County PA dog attack lawyer then obtained all the medical records, bills and photographs. These documents were sent to the defense adjuster, along with a detailed five-page legal analysis.

Settlement negotiations with the dog owner’s insurance company focused on the issue of liability, especially concentrating on the lack of proof of prior unprovoked attacks. Ultimately, the Chester County dog bite attorney convinced the defendant’s insurance carrier to make payments for the Chester County dog bite claim totaling $47,879.00.

The lawyer for dog bites in Chester County Pennsylvania provided Judge Tunnel with Chester County dog bite compensation documents regarding a structured settlement annuity.
